Sorry to report that I've now experienced my second major problem wiht my C7. My car is an early VIN (low 300s) and first problem was a bad fuel sending unit which had to be replaced with only 40 miles on the car and took 5 days.

This morning on way to work (670 miles on car) it just dies when coming to a stop. The RPMs just dropped down to zero and it died. Put it in park and started it again (although it didn't want to start). Did same thing at next stop light. Again, it didn't want to re-start, but it did. So I figured I would try to limp home, trying to keep the RPM up when slowing (mine is an automatic) by putting in neutral. Needless to say I didn't make it home and it died in the middle of the road and would not start. Had to get it towed to a local dealer and there it sits for now. We will see what they say.

Any thoughts or input would be appreciated. I started loooking thru the issues thread, but there are so many pages now I figured I would try a separate post. Many thanks for your time.

Years ago I had a relatively new SUV and had exactly the same thing happen to me. It just stopped and yet looked like it had about a quarter tank of gas. I had noticed that the gauge seemed out of place a time or two before so I got a gas can and put about 3 gallons in it. Started and ran fine. Fortunately, it was under warranty and they ended up replacing the whole tank, which had the fuel sensor inside of it. Just a thought...

Has the OP tried to put gas in the car? Is it possible this gas gauge issue from before is misreading the amount of gas in the tank and it is empty? The symptoms would certainly follow that notion.

Pretty sure it is not out of fuel. I recently filled up and always keep an eye on the fuel range. It shouldn't be anywhere close to empty.

Also when I tried to re-start it each time it really seemed like the battery was dead or there was some electrical issue. It couldn't even try to crank. No word from dealer yet although I did give them the info on the prior problem when I dropped it off. Thanks.

Same thing happened to my C5 Z06 when basically brand new. If memory serves it was my alternator that died causing the car to lose power and shut down on the highway. See experiential vs assuming he did something wrong.

Most Corvette buyers are repeat buyers. You would not believe how much went wrong with 70 and 80s Vettes, yet we kept on coming back. Once they were fixed, they stayed fixed. That was the joy of owning a Vette. Since the 90s they have been pretty dependable. The LS engines are no good for Hot Rods or racing unless you get the cast Iron block versions.
It remains to be seen what the C7 and the new LT1 bring.
The 63, the 68 and 84 new releases were dismal. The first and second LT1s were amazing. The C5 and C6 initial releases were uneventful. The C5 was more dependable than the C6 on the race track.
We live in different times now and we are older and our expectations are higher despite the ever increasing complexities of the new cars. I've loved all Vettes till the C7, mostly because of it's looks. If it has major mechanical flaws also, I will stray.
I put a LS2 engine in my roadster and it was totally inferior to my LT4. Could not get it to run cool.
I sure hope the 3 gen LT1 holds up. We shall see this year no doubt. I think a lot of the race boys will go with a stock diff.
